Thank you to GolfCharlie and Claude Code for fixing the code to work with the newly changed FAA API! They have saved a lot of time. A new image has been created and will be uploaded today and available later tonight. If you don't want or need the image, you can visit https://github.com/markyharris/livesectional and incorporate the changes into your board now.

There has been another change to the FAA API which has again broke the map. We are currently working on this. Check back for fix. If you have the fix please post it. - Mark
The software changes are causing havoc on my map. Sadly my airports file was not uploaded to my iCloud before I reset my computer. Is there a way to manually pull the airport and config files before updating to the new software?
I was able to do it successfully before the last update but didn't get the file uploaded to the iCloud. I can't remember how I pulled it before I updated the software.
Yes. By using an SSH client with a file explorer interface you can copy the datafiles to your local desktop, then update the image then import those files back to your map.
One of the more popular clients is WinSCP, https://winscp.net/eng/index.php
Download and install. Then open and put in the SSH credentials which will be protocol: 'SCP', hostname: 'YOUR RPIs IP ADDRESS', user: 'pi', password: 'livesectional', port: '22'
Once you log in to your RPi you can select the 3 datafiles (see pic below) and drag them over to your desktop.
If this isn't getting you where you need to be, please bounce back and I'll help as best I can. - Mark
